Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Other drivers may fail to look for and see motorcyclists. Reckless, aggressive, and careless driving by other drivers puts motorcyclists at great risk. Some examples of negligent driving behaviors that cause accidents with motorcyclists include:

Illegal turns or lane changes (e.g., turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle)

Following too closely

If another driver caused your accident, you can recover compensation for your damages from the at-fault driver. Our lawyers will help you establish how the accident happened and who is at fault. We may rely on police reports, eyewitness testimony, expert testimony, and more to prove fault and demand the compensation you deserve.

How a New Cassel Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Will Help

The only thing you should focus on after any personal injury accident is treatment and recovery from injuries. Our legal team will investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident to identify the at-fault party or parties and build your case so that you can focus on healing.

Here are some of the ways our New Cassel motorcycle accident lawyers work to provide the highest level of legal representation for injured motorcyclists:

Identify Liable Parties and Prove Fault

We investigate your accident to identify any liable parties. In almost all cases, the liable party is another driver. Our investigation gathers the evidence we then use to build your case and prove fault. Our efforts on your behalf are aimed at demonstrating:

The defendant owed you a duty of care. All road users owe others, including motorcyclists, a duty of care.

The defendant breached that duty of care by driving recklessly or carelessly (i.e., was negligent). Examples of negligence include merging into a motorcyclist’s lane without looking, speeding, failure to yield, and running a red light or stop sign.

The defendant’s negligence caused the accident. We build your case to connect the defendant’s negligence to the accident through evidence like police reports and eyewitness testimony.

You suffered damages as a result, including medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Communicate with Insurance Companies and Other Parties for You

Some of the other parties that may be involved in your case include insurance companies, the defendant(s), the police, eyewitnesses, expert witnesses, and more.

Our team will communicate with these parties on your behalf so you can focus on getting better. We will help file insurance claims, lawsuits, speak with insurers for you, negotiate for a settlement, retrieve police reports and medical records, talk to eyewitnesses, and more.

Gather Evidence to Prove Fault & Value of Damages

To prove fault, we will gather evidence from various sources, including the following:

Calculate Your Damages and Fight for Compensation

Your case must also establish the value of your damages. You can recover compensation for your short-term medical bills and lost wages, as well as long-term medical bills and lost wages. For example, you may qualify to recover compensation for lost wages while recovering from injuries, as well as reduced earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from earning your pre-injury wages or salary.

In addition to medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage bills, there may be damages that are more difficult to calculate, such as emotional pain and suffering. Our New Cassel motorcycle accident lawyers will help you place a value on these noneconomic damages as well.

Here is a more robust list of recoverable damages, though you may qualify to recover other damages as well depending on your case:
